On the 4th floor in Suite 404, Felicity is suited to present her first presentation on fine footwear to the Board. Her watch tells her she has a minute to inventory herself: video remote control in her hand – check; laser pointer in her suit jacket pocket – check; a cheat sheet for Q&A later – check. She glances down at her shoes and is alarmed to see the amount of lint clinging to her trouser socks.
“Why the fudgecake did you that for, bumbrass?”
“I told you we had to cover our mass.”
“Sheesh-kabob, I’m never going to work with you again.”
“Gold drum it. You’re a real sum of a bridge.”
“You sold us out. You’re no better than a two-bit horseshoe.”
“You’re a real continental divide.”

O Blizzard Wizard, direct your gusts upon Siberia.
Get thee to the Rocky Mountains, to the peaks of Mt. Everest.
Go where the altitude is high and the population low.
Our backs are weary from shoveling
And our knuckles white from keeping the car from skating.
Donuts are for eating,
Crazy eights for card playing,
Enough with these demonstrations of near demolitions.
No-fault insurance claims don’t stop the finger-pointing
Nor do they keep premiums from rising.
Cease the snow,
Hold your breath,
Just go!
Snowhere to travel
No planes, trains, or cars in sight,
Stranded here for now.

Fleeing from danger,
The bird flew into a den
A fox was waiting

Remembering his message:

Barbed remarks and witty comebacks were exchanged among the presidential candidates. Many of them have sharpened their tongues, but they all agree that every one of them is better than the Democratic alternative. Hands down. Issues discussed included jobs and growth, gun control, national security, tax reform, and the growing national debt. There was a bit of digression regarding Ted Cruz’s citizenship and his qualification to run for the presidency. Rubio eventually brought the debate back on track. Summarized below are some of what the candidates would do if elected President.

Fresh buttered pillows
Wafts of warm rolls calling me
My role is to eat
Shock
Say it isn’t so
I can’t accept your leaving
My world just went dark
Pain
Time crawls without you
The air is a stifling cloak
Each breath is a sob
Anger
How dare you just go
Leaving joy we could have had
Things we could have shared
Depression
Sadness hangs on me
Twenty-four hours each day
No sign of retreat
Acceptance
At last I wake up
Signs of life and hope appear
One step at a time.
